Most sports also try to minimize the chance for injury of the players. If there's something that's not detrimental to the gameplay that can minimize risk for injury, they do it, no question. ALC lowers risk for injury by quite a bit, so if you're going by the "we should do what sports do" thing...

I find playing against Mario one of the most difficult matchups for me in the game, and figured this would be a good place to ask for advice. First off, I mainly play Captain Falcon and Fox, and most of my experience against Mario is with customs on. Mario's down throw into up-tilt combo is...

I really like this idea, and it's personally how I play friendlies. I've just been pushing for 3 stock 8 mins, because I feel like it's more realistic that these TOs who apparently hate the Sm4sh scene might accept that. I think if people would actually try out 3 stock no timer at tournaments it...

Stock increase decreasing the chance of upsets is absolutely true, and I feel like a lot of people haven't really thought about that. I think 2 stock is detrimental to the game, and having at least 3 would be better. However, if you look beyond 2, 3, or 4 stocks, imagine playing 50 stock games...

Why is the c-stick up icon listed in the character rankings?

Almost always gold, but occasionally I pick default as well.

I was looking around and I can't find any lists or pictures of blast zone sizes for all the stages, or at least the competitive stages. I'm really curious about a comparison of them, but couldn't find any. Does this exist anywhere?

I think out of those only Sheik and maybe ZSS or Rosalina are better than him. I think he's better than Sonic (post patch) and Pikachu.

I see a lot of complaints about dair not being buffed, but I think with Ness being pretty much unchanged and the characters above him being nerfed he's a contender for top of the tier list, or at least top 2 or 3.

I'm sure a lot of people know this, but for people who don't, Mewtwo's side-b acts almost like a third jump in mid air. This doesn't gain much height, but is good if you're lacking in horizontal recovery (must be used before up-b obviously). Also it can stop downward momentum while falling...

Knee feels the same to me. Not sure if this is a change, but I was playing against a Wario on the new patch and tried a double jab into grab, and he was able to bite me after the second jab. Not sure if this was possible before patch, or if it's not possible now and I just ****ed up the timing...

We could definitely make it more diverse, but I think it's definitely already the most diverse Smash game competitively. None of the other games (except maybe PM) have any kind of character variety.

I think this is great and I've wanted this for competitive since the stage builder was announced. I think it's important though that we don't just throw in a lot of extra stages. Sure, it's fun to remake and play these old stages for nostalgia, but I think each and every custom stage we consider...

I often find myself playing Smash with 5 or 6 friends. Recently, since none of us really enjoy the chaotic nature of 4+ player Smash, we've started doing tournaments with each person entering a few characters separately to fill up the bracket. I was wondering if anyone else had any cool ideas...

So, I've so far tried to be an advocate for Smash 4 being played competitively, and I really want to like the game, but lately I've not had any fun with it because of players who camp and spam projectiles. I'm not just complaining about the For Glory people either, one of the main people I play...
